Let’s be real—when we think sunscreen, we’re usually focused on our faces, chests, and maybe that one shoulder that always somehow burns. But your scalp? Totally overlooked. And it’s time we change that.
ICYMI: Your scalp is skin, too. That means it can get sunburned, flaky, and damaged from UV rays, especially if you have a part, thinning hair or wear protective styles that expose your scalp.
According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, “Your scalp is one of the most common areas for skin cancer to occur because it’s often neglected when it comes to sunscreen.”
So yes, SPF body sunscreen is essential—but so is giving your scalp its own moment.
How to SPF Your Scalp Without Ruining Your Blowout
We get it—rubbing a thick, creamy SPF into your hairline sounds…not ideal. The good news? There are smarter (and cuter) ways to protect your scalp without the grease factor.
- Powder SPF: Looks like dry shampoo, works like a dream. Just dust it along your part for invisible protection.
- Scalp SPF Sprays: Lightweight, non-sticky, and perfect for high buns, braids, and beach days.
- SPF Sticks: Great for targeted areas like your hairline or edges—super portable, super precise.
- Hats (Duh): Add a cute wide-brim moment to your outfit and boom—UV protection and style points.
Summer Sun Can Stress Your Strands
Between sun, saltwater, chlorine, and sweat, summer can be rough on your hair. UV rays can actually degrade the proteins in your hair and weaken your strands over time—hello dryness, breakage, and color fading. So not the vibe we’re going for.
That’s where internal support comes in. Enter our Hair Strong Supplements.
This clinically proven supplement supports stronger, fuller hair from the inside out with biotin, zinc, B12, folic acid, and Fo-Ti (an adaptogenic herb known for promoting hair growth and maintaining natural color).
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study and a self-reported questionnaire from the clinical study participants:
- 94% saw improved hair strength
- 89% saw faster hair growth
If you’re not a capsule girly we also have a gummy version; both deliver the same benefits. Just take it daily—any time, with or without food—and let the results do the talking!
Summer Hair Care = Protection + Prevention
To round out your sunny hair routine:
- Rinse your hair after swimming (chlorine and salt water = not bestie behavior)
- Use leave-in conditioner or a hydrating mask weekly
- Go easy on hot tools (beachy waves = permission to skip the flat iron)
- Keep ends fresh with regular trims
- And never forget your scalp SPF (we’ll say it louder for the people in the back)
Final Thoughts on Scalp SPF Body Sunscreen
SPF isn’t just for your face and body—it’s for your scalp and hair too. Protecting your part is key to preventing burns and long-term damage. And while you’re at it, support your strands from within with Hair Strong. Because summer should be for fun, not frizz, breakage, or a flaky scalp.
